Muscletech's Hydroxycut and Hydroxycut Hardcore are diet pill supplements that promise weight and fat loss, energy boost, stronger workouts and a more efficient metabolism for users. Although both drugs have the same end goal in mind, there are differences between the two supplements.

Hydroxycut

Hydroxycut has a track record of being one of the most potent diet pills on the market--for good reason. Most users report serious weight loss and increased energy when using the product. However, there are serious side effects, including increased blood pressure, elevated heartbeat, headaches, feelings of dizziness and restlessness. Your body might need to build up a tolerance to the drug before these side effects subside.

Hydroxycut Hardcore

Hydroxycut Hardcore is made of a unique combination of pyroxyclene, norepidrol and lasidrate and provides users with an extra boost of fat-burning power for their workout. Hardcore provides all of the same benefits as Hydroxycut, but its more intense blend comes with more side effects. These include increased blood pressure, headaches, increased heart rate, feelings of restlessness, loss of appetite, anxiety, nausea and discoloration of the stool.

Solution

Although the drugs are similar in design, the clear differences comes in the ingredients and number of side effects. The extra boost of energy and weight-loss technology makes Hydroxycut Hardcore a more popular choice, but the added side effects also make it a potentially dangerous one. With Hydroxycut's strong track record and proven results, it provides an effective and safer and alternative to Hydroxycut Hardcore.

Considerations

Any diet pill can be dangerous if not taken in proper dosages and according the directions. Also realize that the side effects listed in this article are usually temporary.
